persons
supreme NdStcTh w VI hLuaii ooi .'th
was the first called upon to respond to
the toast, "Our Order" which he did
in a very felicitious manner, remark
ing that he had heard much about the
transcendent opulence OF Los Angeles
and of the fruitful Citrus Belt she
wears. Her winsome ways and as
poets had almost induced him to cud-
die under her wings and remain there
always. He had also heard that pota-
toes, oranges and many of the cereals
could not be cultivated here, but he
was possessed of knowledge which en-
abled him to refute the statement.
His further remarks were confined to
a panegyric on the order, stating that
it had come into the world to do good,
and was accomplishing its mission.
He enjoined harmony and cooperation
on the part OF fmembers as being essen
tal to success. At the conclusion OF
his remarks he was heartily applauded.

toast, "The Grand Jurisdiction OF
California, in a happy manner, en-
the advantages to be de-
rived from membership the order.
Hon. C.. Kotz responded to the

to by Robert Sharp.
Toast Master Booth then announced
hat James d. Lynch hsd been Sc
ected to respond to the toast, Our
Press referring to him in very eulo-
yistic terms.
The gentleman replied that it was
very embarrassing to be referred to in
such complimentary terms, and on be-
lalf OF the Los Angeles press he well
,omed the visitors and assured them
hat it had never lacked appreciation
of the efforts of the order. On behalf
of the press he cordially welcomed the
Supreme Master Workman. as
,ne who had been honored ac-
cording to his deserts, by being
chosen leader of such an order.
While not a workman himself he
svmpathized with them and to them
was referable many things OF merit.
He concluded by complimenting the
order, and proposing a toast OF cold
water which was heartily responded to
1y all the members.

VERSES WRITTEN IN HONOR OF SUPREME
MASTER WORKMAN HON. WIN. II. JORDAN.
''I'll sing to you modern song made by an
ancient pate
Of fine American gentleman, who had a
small estate;
Who came from Cincinnati at very early
date,
70 strike for fame aud fortune in this
glorious Golden State,
This fine American gentleman all of the
modern time.
There were no Pullman palace cars when he
came DER the plains
To make the journey swiftly, and to mollify
his pains,
But still the numbering caravan toiled
slowly toward the West,
nd when they tired of riding, they would
walk awhile and rest.
This fine American gentleman, etc.
But difficulties and hard work to him
familiar grew,
And everything he tackled, he was bound to
For written in his lexicon was no such word
as fail, rs= 80
Until at last he stood crowned with the
honor of old Yale.
This fine American gentleman, etc.
To study law and politics became his chief
And here again he goes for everything in
sight; caa
Already Speaker OF the House, to Congress
And there we'll make him Senator and
Governor also.
This fine American gentleman, etc.
But it is as workman that we welcome him
to-night
To hail him as our chief. Supreme is our
supreme delight
To wish him health and happiness as long
as he may live,
And all the bliss and blessedness that
Heaven alone can give.
This fine American gentleman, etc.
